Okay so i came up with a solution to my paint matching problem lol
I painted the grabs on the front of the cab and the rear of the unit ATSF silver, the color is close enough to the silver thats on the unit now so you cant really tell, especially from far away. For the grabs on the top of the cab hood and the cab itself, i painted all those grabs black. I think it looks pretty good, and now i will install and paint the side handrails black. Once im done with that, ill install and paint the front and rear handrails, painting them all white. It is similar to the proto unit #7001 but not exactly dead on, just close enough for my standards anyways
